Good Beginner Book For Web Server Administration And Design Theory


Recommended Posts

I'm fairly competent in front end design work. No expert, but enough to be dangerous. I'm interested in learning how to take a cloud server from scratch to a properly built, ready to scale, secure, efficient etc LAMP stack. I really have no experience in the topic.

 

I've been going through a lot of information in the Rackspace Knowledge Center but was looking for a book or other tutorials to help me get started. At the current time, Linux is like Greek to me so a few books may be necessary.

 

Thanks for your time and any suggestions.

Not sure what flavor of Linux you are interested in, but I like Ubuntu, and this book may be helpful: http://www.amazon.co...n/dp/0137081332

 

or maybe this one: http://www.amazon.co...r/dp/0782143377

 

If you are interested in shell (and I think you should be) you should definitely check out this one as well: http://www.amazon.co...g/dp/013308504X

 

If for some reason you are interested in Nginx rather than Apache Server Administration, then check out this book: http://www.amazon.com/Nginx-Web-Server-Implementation-Cookbook/dp/1849514968

Hey thank you very much! I've been leaning towards Ubuntu so I'm glad you mentioned that option. I'll be sure to take a look at your suggestions.

 

Thanks again,
